My parents are dumb. Here are a few examples:

Problem: The sun. It's too damn hot.
Logical solution: Move aprox. five inches.
Their solution: Buy ?2700 sun screen.

Problem: Can't see TV, my lenses are twisted.
Logical solution: Check lenses, make sure left lens is not in right eye.
Their solution: Buy new TV, buy new lenses.

Problem: I'm hot.
Logical solution: Eat something cold or turn on fan.
Their solution: Install air-conditioning.

Problem: Too cold.
Logical solution: Turn off said air-conditioning.
Their solution: Turn on heat.

Problem: The stove is too far away!
Logical solution: Move closer.
Their solution: Buy new kitchen.

They're dumb, and it shows. >.<

EDIT: I might want to add, we're not rich, and all this has happened in a timespan of over 2 years.

Everything they've done helps create a job for somebody.
Money is a medium of exchange. It is only useful if you spend it.

Are they retired? Do they need to save?

If they have that much money I HIGHLY doubt they are that stupid unless they are in acting or something

No, we're not rich. Absolutely not. My mom and dad work their asses off to be able to afford their stupidity.

My point is that the op likely can not appreciate the gravity of any situation involving 'grown-ups'

Please tell me that the heat and A/C were not both on at the same time.

I think your parents just wanted excuses to buy stuff. Hey--we're all materialistic!
